Dedication vs loyalty, is there a difference? When you are dedicated to someone or something there is nothing you won’t do for them. When you are loyal, you have a unwavering allegiance to someone or something. Is there a point when your dedication should be put on hold or once you are loyal you remain loyal no matter what? Who determines when and at what cost?

Men @ Play is a book about relationships. Some are easy and some are not but the one thing that is consistent is that there is a constant relationship of some sort going on at all times. The characters interact well and they keep the story flowing very easily. The book have some twists but it is very easy to follow. There were some grammatical errors that if you were not paying attention to the story you might get confused (like mixing up names) but all in all this is a good story. I would suggest to the author if it can be updated and corrected on Amazon, I would do that. I have read this author before and I know her work and this is not the norm. It is still a book worthy of purchase.

Looks can be very deceiving. We have all been taught not to judge a book by its cover but with some things, you go according to first impressions without looking deeper into it. First impression are supposed to be the window on which you determine how you are going to approach someone or something but as we all know, that is just not the case. Sometimes you have to take a step back and see things from a different perspective in order to get the TRUE feel of what is really going on.

Love is a word that is thrown around but not taken seriously by some. Many claim to be in love but at the moment of temptation, everything is out the window. Relationships are hard enough without one of the parties involved to have their dedication questioned. How do you deal with current relationships or even new ones when there are trust issues? Do you build a wall stronger than The Great Wall of China or do you step out on faith, the choice is up to whom?

Lamonte Singletary and his ex-wife Gade are doing the best that they can to raise their son, Brice. Lamonte is still having pains about the dissolution of his marriage but he is trying to move on with his life. Gade on the other hand is hanging in limbo trying to figure out what she can do to restore her marriage. Is there life possible after betrayal or will Gade just live out her days with regret and sadness?

Joe Burrels is trying to be a better person. Joe recognizes that he has been hurt and is hurting people in the process so that he doesn’t have to feel for anyone. What is it that can make Joe turn his evil ways around? Will he finally achieved that relationship that he desires in his subconscious or will Joe continue to have a love ‘em and leave ‘em type of relationship with everyone?

What My Sister Didn’t Know 2 is the continuation of the turmoil that we experienced between Lamonte, Gade, Clay, Saphire and Joe in the first installment. The drama and intensity continues while we experience what life is like after breakups. The characters have a flow that is enjoyable for the reading community but doesn’t make you wait for the connection. There were small editing errors but nothing that would take away from the story. Once again I have enjoyed DeCosters’ writing and I will continue to look forward to her work.

Family and love are two words that are supposed to go hand in hand. Your family is there for you no matter what and the love is always going to be there. What happens when those two words are fighting against each other? Should you just give up and walk away or will you do what is right and forgive and forget? Family and love are the two best thing that could ever happen to you and two of the worse things that could happen.

Saphire and Gade Michaels are sisters who couldn’t be more different. Saphire is older and more everything. Saphire is what is called a BBW ~ Big Beautiful Woman and she uses her curves to get whatever she wants. Some would even add Bold to the mix because she goes for anything and everything that she feels she deserves without even batting an eye. Gade on the other hand is a beautiful petite woman who is shy and has always lived in the shadow of Saphire. Gade has never felt good enough and that has always been what helped to keep their sisterly relationship strained. When Gade finally has the upper hand over Saphire (or so she belives), Saphire decides to help her little sister along. Little does Gade know Saphire is still using her special charm to disrupt anyone’s life that may get in her way.

What My Sister Didn’t Know is very intense. Anything that has to deal with any type of family issues is going to be intense but DeCoster took it to another level. This novel is very well written and the characters have you sitting with your mouth open while reading because of their antics. You will go through a range of emotions but you will absolutely love this read. This book is an re-release. If you didn’t read it the first time around, don’t slip on it a second time! I wholeheartedly recommend this book and this author to anyone that is looking for a new read in their collection. Kudos!

What My Sister Didn’t Know is available on Amazon.com (Both Kindle and paperback) and BN.com (Paperback only).

Love is a word that is thrown around a lot but when it is said, what is truly meant by it? Are you just saying it because you feel that is the right thing to do or are you saying it because you have genuine feeling for that person? Happiness is one of those feelings that is different for everyone. According to the dictionary, happiness means: a state of well-being and contentment, joy, a pleasurable or satisfying experience. Different things and different events make people happy but are you truly happy or are you just skating by?

Is it more about total happiness or your happiness alone?

Love & Happiness is a book about life lessons. How you deal with the life that you are dealt and what you should do about it. This story is a great story regarding who you are and who you TRULY want to be. The characters are so in tune with each other this novel could either be your own life or a movie. You can totally relate to the life situations that are going on within this novel and you have a feeling of wanting to help the underdog but with the twists and turns ~ who is the real underdog? I would highly recommend this novel, it is excellent reading for anyone who likes a good book. It keeps you engrossed so you will not want to put it down until you find out what happens next! Great job Ben Burgess Jr., continued success!

There is a very distinct difference between a house and a home. A house is a place where you hold your belongings but a home is a place where love lives.

Does he not care about his family and the pain that he is causing or is he so wrapped up in his happiness that he will do whatever it takes to make it happen?

My Heart’s Home is the third and final book in the Heart series and if you have been following this series you will NOT be disappointed! The way that these characters interact with each other makes you feel like you are watching a movie instead of reading a novel. The story is so clear and flows so smoothly that you are feeling the emotions that the characters are feeling, it is almost like you are there with them. I love writing like this because it brings you into the story and that is a sign of an author who is in tune with their readers. I always look forward to reading the works of Carla Terrell and she did not disappoint this time, great job! Continued success!

Deception ~ the act of making someone believe something that is not true. How many times have we deceived others whether for good or bad? How many times have you been deceived? Did you like how it felt either deceiving or being deceived? We are back with the second installment of the Shady Sister Trilogy, The Perfect Deception and there is some deception going on in this book. The question is what will the outcome be? Who will be successful, the deceiver or the person being deceived?

Jessica Bolton is a beautiful, thriving young woman who any man would want but she only has eyes on one man in particular. Jessica hasn’t always had the confidence needed to have her choice of men, considering the hard upbringing that she has had but she is getting much better. Jessica is basically a loner so trusting comes hard to her, until she meets Nathan Carver and everything changes. Nathan is everything that she could every want in a man plus more and Jessica wants that more, but what is stopping her from getting that.

Nathan Carver is a very successful man who comes from a successful family. Nathan doesn’t let his wealth dictate who he is, he has charm and charisma and is handsome to boot so he has no problem getting women. When Nathan meets Jessica his world stops spinning. Nathan feels she is the most beautiful, kind, caring woman that he has ever met and he wants her for his own. Nathan realizes that she has had a hard childhood and she is very private but he wants to be there for her to give her whatever she may need. Little does Nathan know that Jessica is going to need a little more than he is willing to give.

The Perfect Deception is the perfect follow-up book to The Perfect Affair (book 1 in the series). It continues with that same intensity and drama from the first installation and the characters give you all of the drama and crazy that you can handle! I love the detail that Lovely uses in this book, lets you know that either she has done her research or she is a psychopath but either way it makes for intense reading. The Perfect Deception does not release until November 25, 2014 but it is available for pre-order so that you can be ready to be deceived right along with the rest of us!
